Yes, a program "cmp_size"

#!/bin/sh
# cmp_size - compare old and new directory size
# $1 (limit)=min. size for new dirs to be included in report
# $2 (dlimit)=min. size change for old dirs to be included
# $3 (sfile)=pathname for file with yesterday's data
# $4 (csize)=current directory size
# $5 (file)=pathname of directory
# osize=privious size (extracted from sfile)
# diff=size difference between yesterday and today

if [$# -ld 5];then
echo "Usage: cmp_size newlim oldlim data_file size dir"
exit 1
fi
# save initial parameters
limit=$1; dlimit=$2; sfile=$3; file=$5; csize=$4
# get yesterday's data
osize=`grep "$file\$" $sfile | awk '{print \$1}'`
if [ -z "osixe"]; then # it's a new dir.
if [$csize -ge $limit ]; then # report if size >= limit
echo "new\t$csize\t$file"
fi
exit 0
fi
# compute the size change from yesterday
if [ $osize -eq $csize]
then
exit 0
elif [ $osize -gt $csize]
then
diff=`expr $osize - $csize`
else
diff=`expr $csize - $osize`
fi
# check if size change is big enough to report on
if [ $diff -ge $dlimit]; then
echo "$osize\t$csize\tfile"
fi

compile_link

COMPILE_LINK(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  COMPILE_LINK(1p)

NAME

       compile_link -- compile and copy Interchange link CGI

VERSION

       1.0

SYNOPSIS

	  compile_link [-p NNNN] [-s sfile] [-h host] [-w N] \
		       [--perl] [-nf] [-o outputfile] [-b dir] [-s dir]

DESCRIPTION

       The "compile_link" program configures (including compilation if necessary) a link CGI for talking to the Interchange server daemon.

       If the --perl option is given, it will not compile but instead use the tlink.pl program, setting its variables as needed.

       Designed to be used in conjunction with Interchange's makecat.

OPTIONS

       -b dir, --build=dir
	   Sets the directory where the build files will be made. Default is "src" in the Interchange software directory.

       -h hostname, --host=hostname
	   Sets the host address or host name that should be compiled into the TCP-based link program.	This sets the default, which still can be
	   overridden by "MINIVEND_HOST" in the environment of the executing process.

       -p NNNN, --port=NNNN
	   Sets the port number that should be compiled into the TCP-based link program.  This sets the default, which still can be overridden by
	   "MINIVEND_PORT" in the environment of the executing process. The port must be higher than 1024.

       -s sfile, --socket=sfile
	   The name of the UNIX-domain socket file which should be compiled into the UNIX-domain link program. This sets the default, which still
	   can be overridden by "MINIVEND_SOCKET" in the environment of the executing process.

       --source=dir
	   Sets the directory containing the source files. Default is "src" in the Interchange software directory.

       -w N, --timeout=N
	   The number of seconds the link program should wait for a connection before sending its timeout page.
